  2. 13:54 I have translated the left page of binary into 8-bit ASCII. I can confirm the first few characters translate into EXPLORATION. The next two character translate into OG rather than OF. That is 79 on the ascii table (O) followed by 71 on the ascii table (G). Given that F on the ascii table is 70 (0100 0110 binary), I am assuming this is a mistake on Penniston's part and he wrote a 1 at the end of the sequence rather than a 0. The next few characters translate into HUMANITY. What I have translated next differs from the what the video tells us. The next characters do not spell 'continuous for planetary advance....'. The sequence that follows is 00110110 which is the digit 6 on the ascii table. The remaining sequence is 011011001101100111000001100010011000000110000. That is 108, 217, 193, 137, 129 on the ascii table followed by 10000, 108 is l and the rest of the characters are not from the alphabet. So that remaining sequence is not translatable. If we assume Penniston has made more mistakes then we can attempt to correct those mistakes by guessing if a 0 or 1 can be inserted into the sequence to give us something we can read when translated. The last translatable sequence was 00110110 - the digit 6. We can see almost the same sequence repeat twice more but it lacks a zero at the start. If we add these zeros (denoted within []) we get: [0]0110110 - 54 - 6 [0]0110110 - 54 - 6 01110000 - 56 - 8 01100010 - 49 - 1 01100000 - 48 - 0 01100000 - 48 - 0 If we add a 1 in those positions we get 10110110 which is 182 and again outside the latin alphabet. It appears by adding zero's in the right place we get EXPLORATIONOGHUMANITY6668100. The last 4 of those characters do match what the video tells us but the 666 does not. The second page translates to: 520942532N13131269WCONTI It appears this is a coordinate followed by the beginning of the sentence 'continuous for planetary advance....'
